That can mean severe injuries for visitors who have the legal right to be on that property. When you suffer injuries because of the negligence of a property owner, a Georgetown premises liability lawyer could help you recover compensation for your losses.

Property owners should ensure that their property is in good repair and free from potential hazards. Where hazards exist, they should warn visitors to the property about those dangers and take steps to protect them. While accidents can occur for various reasons, some types of accidents are more common than others. These include:
Those accidents can result in severe injuries, from broken bones to burns, spinal cord injuries, and brain injuries. In many cases, those injuries can lead to long-term damages that mean immense challenges for the injured person. Working with a Georgetown premises liability attorney could help the injured person identify the negligent actions taken by the property owner.
Filing a premises liability claim can help injured individuals pursue compensation for both the financial and non-financial losses associated with their injuries. While a lawyer cannot guarantee the compensation the injured person will recover, they can provide a breakdown of the financial and non-financial losses usually included as part of an injury claim. Those claims often include:
A premises liability attorney in Georgetown could evaluate all those areas, from reviewing medical bills to assessing the non-financial damages the injured person faced after the accident.
Visitors who have the legal right to enter a property also have the same right to expect a safe experience there as public property owners. When an injured person files a claim against a private property owner, it will typically go through their homeowners insurance.
State law recognizes the attractive nuisance doctrine, which holds property owners liable when children suffer injuries caused by man-made features on the property that draw them in. This includes swimming pools, trampolines, and playground equipment that are accessible to children but not properly secured or maintained.
